RE: Random chatter...
In the East, Pawel is giving me fits as my Death's Head moves forward...
As I move across the open plan, his T34/85's snipe at my infantry incessantly, then slide out of sight. Slowly bleeding out here...
He's dropped one bridge in the south along the second river... I have artillery raining down on the other bridges to disrupt his efforts... So far, I've been successful as his Engineers are getting pounded... At the first southern bridge I have his engineers reduced and disrupted... the VP hex falls to my flame-throwing halftrack... I just regret that it'll probably get smoked next turn by long range tank fires...
In the center, Pawel has definitely showed his excellent tactical sense... I got my scouts across the bridge, established crossfires and moved up to send the infantry across next turn... then "BAM" the door slammed shut... tanks and infantry came charging out of the treeline to wipe out my initial push... I've been pounding the treeline all along, but no joy as the un-spotted SMG and Engineers come rushing out to destroy my scouts...
He followed with smoke and slammed the door to my crossing... He then advanced over the bridge with more smoke and his tank swarm came swinging around to the north and south of the woods in the center... I expected as much and had Panthers and King Tigers waiting to break up his move... he popped up on the top and lost several Shermans... Of course, I paid as he engaged a loaded halftrack... The T34/85s came around the southern tree lines but are driven back by the King Tigers... His shots force one of the Kings to pull back... Lots of fire, but no real damage...
More infantry moving up to support the treeline in trucks near where the Kings and T34/85s duked it out... Unfortunately for Pawel the deep snow slowed their progress leaving them exposed to the dreaded "88" long of the King's...
Smoking and mangled wreckage are all that remains of Pawel's first tactical slip.. Up until that point, he had done an excellent job of not letting me see anything... I'm sure I won't get that lucky again...
Exposed and on the wrong side of the river, his infantry is mowed down at point blank by the Panthers in a close assault with flame-throwing and infantry ladened halftracks. His infantry is disrupted and reduced by three as it retreats one hex... Follow up assault wipes out his foray back across the bridge...
Nose to nose, the Germans stare at the Russian infantry on the other side of the bridge... This is turning into real slugfest...
Regards,
Jim
